During my communion time with the Holy Spirit, He expressed a deep desire for me to minister this truth that would open your spiritual eyes to enable you to correctly discern the Lord’s timings and receive the necessary grace to walk in step with Him until every divine assignment assigned to you is completed. The Holy Spirit’s concern is not merely that you start well, but that you finish well, on time and in His prescribed triumphant miraculous way.

The Holy Spirit revealed that many servants of His begin their assignments with passion yet fail to complete them because they allow the distractions which arise during the journey to choke out the spiritual response of love in all things to remain central in the truth that holds all things together. Other opportunities, differing voices, or natural pressures are allowed to intrude, which aim to divert attention from the primary work the Lord assigned to mundane rituals.

The Holy Spirit brought to my remembrance the example of when Nehemiah was rebuilding Jerusalem’s walls. When he was continually being harassed and urged to leave the work of building to attend meetings and negotiations, the enemies were staging to hinder the progress. Nehemiah refused, declaring he could not come down because he was engaged in a great work that he could not abandon.

That resolve the Holy Spirit pointed out must become ours concerning the orders of the Lord we are following. No invitation regardless of how prestigious it is, even if from a president or prime minister should distract us from complete obedience to the Lord’s will when He has given us clear direction.

The Holy Spirit then pointed to Jesus as the supreme model of our focus. It was written of Him, “Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up,” in John 2:17. Jesus was wholly consumed with intense passion in completing the work the Father gave Him to do. This level of holy passion and undivided focus which Jesus possessed is required of us to bear the same level of fruit He had. Distraction must find no lodging place in our lives.

For our spiritual sight to remain clear and undefiled, daily spiritual discipline is absolutely essential. There must be a daily, intentional program of communion with the Holy Spirit, to allow Him to direct and adjust our course in life.

Our good intentions do not amount to obedience. Always remember that the Lord prefers obedience to sacrifice. The Lord does not require human effort to force His will into being but He requires our yielded obedience.

The Holy Spirit reminded me of Mary’s instruction to the servants at the wedding in Cana in John.2 saying that: whatever He says to you to do, do it. Do not analyse, or second-guess, or worry about public opinion concerning your action. Simply obey the Lord.

Remember that the entrance of His Word is what brings light, and light always expels darkness. Therefore, pursue revelation knowledge from the Lord, for it is the foundation upon which Jesus fulfils His purposes in your life. Matthew.16:17-19.

The example of Peter walking on water illustrates clearly the danger of distraction. When Jesus called him, Peter stepped out and did the impossible. Yet when he shifted focus to look at the storm, doubt entered his heart and he began to sink.

Though Jesus rescued him, Peter did not complete the task independently on his own faith because doubt interrupted his obedience. Jesus asked him, “Why did you doubt?” revealing that distraction and not his inability was the issue.

This lesson teaches us that unwavering focus on the Lord is essential to experience the Lord’s best for us. We must ensure that the opinions of people do not outweigh our obedience to the Lord. The choice for life is stark because the Lord’s outcome always brings life and man’s opinions and approval always leads to spiritual death. It is wonderful to know that Jesus always calls us to choose life.

Today, having heard these words of life, you stand at a decisive moment to allow the grace to be released into you to empower you into full alignment with the Lord’s will. So go ahead and embrace it. Do not allow yourself to talk yourself out of obedience.

Do not forfeit the opportunity of walking in union with the Lord through hesitation. Lay hold on eternal life, by moving forward in divine purpose, and become the light Lord intended for you to be a vessel manifesting signs, wonders, and miracles through the Holy Spirit’s power to glorify Jesus’ name by expanding His Kingdom.

I declare in the mighty Name of Jesus that your spiritual eyes are being opened to discern the accurate timings and purposes of the Lord. I declare that every distraction assigned to derail you from the Lord’s plan is losing its grip over you now and you will not come down from the great work the Lord has entrusted to you.

I decree that holy zeal will consume you, and revelation knowledge will anchor your heart. Where doubt once whispered, clarity will now reign so that where fear once distracted, obedience will now prevail.

I declare that you will complete every assignment the Lord has given you, on time, in correct order, and in His prescribed way. I decree that the opinions of men will no longer sway you from the voice of God and you will choose life, obedience and complete focus on the Lord .

May the grace of the Holy Spirit empower you to walk steadily in divine alignment until every promise from the Lord is fulfilled and every work He ordained for your life is completed. In the name of Jesus let your life shine as a testimony of signs, wonders, and miracles to the glory of Jesus’ Name. Amen.
